This restaurant prides itself on its Nagoya/Italian combo.  They do an Italian style pasta cooked on a stone plate in the Nagoya loved way (ketchup flavored).  Unfortunately this can not be ordered during lunch hours.  Everybody seemed to order the pasta lunch, so I did as well.
The accompanying salad was dressed lightly with a vinaigrette, nothing stood out here.  The soup was a consommé (veggie I think) with soft onions, and a couple of pieces of stale tasting croutons. 

The pasta was a small scallop and broccoli cream sauce.  I think they do use a fresh fettuccine, but I would have preferred slightly more al dente.  The sauce was seasoned well, the cream mellowing out the acdity of the tomato.  The scallops gave it a slight seafood flavour accent but did not overpower the tomato's fresh flavor.  The broccoli was perfectly pre-cooked and soaked up all the sauce nicely.
